Ralph is a fully qualified professional engineer with many years management experience in both the UK and overseas.

He has held different Committee positions in a variety of Tennis Clubs in both the UK and overseas.

He is particularly interested in promoting the game to youngsters. He believes that it is vitally important that tennis is made a game of fun for them. Naturally gifted players will become evident and then more intensive coaching can be applied if it is wished by the player.

Ralph believes that many tennis organisations put too much emphasis on looking for future champions and that instead tennis should be looked on as a fun, social and recreational activity which can be enjoyed throughtout one's life.

Although Ralph is a qualified cricket coach he has no formal tennis coaching qualifications and does not coach.
